James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
To push aside our natural intellect and understanding to allow Him to guide us through our daily activities by His Spirit is very much humbling.
For this purpose, He sent us a Helper, the Holy Spirit.
What more could we ask for than to have the Holy Spirit lead us through this life? I think outside of salvation it is the next best thing for believers!
John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
He will lead us through our daily activities and the most difficult times we will ever walk through.
With His provision we will come through it every time if we follow His guidance and be disciplined in holding tight to His plan.
Reaching out to Him every time we need to make a decision may seem like we are incapable of living our own life.
Quite frankly, it is just the opposite.
It takes courage on a whole new level when we forego our understanding and let Him lead us, guide us or tell us what to do. It is a very humbling endeavor to learn to trust Him in everything.
It is not easy at first. But as we continue to walk in such a way, it does get easier. And our life gets much better than we would expect.
Living humbly in the sight of the Lord is the opposite of how the world may say we should live.
This is exactly why we cannot follow the examples of the world. If we were to look at those the world lifts up and calls examples, what would we see in them?
Pride, vanity, greed, perversion, and a lack of love; all things that are against Christ.
What does the word say about those who are against Him?
Matthew 12:30 (NKJV) 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.
Let us walk in humility and follow His steps, through which we will bring unity to the places in which we tread.
